Well, not really to sure where to start on a re cap of 2011.

I can safely say that it was one tough year for me. In all aspects - business, personal, training.

The loss of my Mentor and Mother In Law really hit me and my family hard, which made it hard to switch on and focus on business, family and training.

Not going into anymore detail than that but we have come out the other side and with the start of a New Year, it is time make a fresh start and move forward!!

I have got my focus back and business has had a great start to the year as has my training.

Have finally gotten back into the books and Janice has left me a legacy of manuals, books, reading and learnings that will last me years!!

I actually did qualify for the 2011 Australian CrossFit Games getting to represent CrossFit 2600. Finished 148th in Australia & New Zealand out of 1700 competitors. It was an amazing experience and I have a desire for more and am again pushing to qualify to get back to the National Level yet again..

I have since opened up a third gym on top of the Alive! Health Clubs in Canberra which is a CrossFit Box called CrossFit Queanbeyan and I will be trying to put a team in from new box.

So there are some very exciting times ahead for sure, and I am looking forward to 2012 and getting back on track with it all…

Here is some clips from the year:

Well after alot of neglect on this website I am back on it!!!

This site is not really designed for anything other than for my own purpose and to post a bit about my journey and life.

Will be back with an overall rundown of 2011 soon, but just wanted to post my 2 little beauties…

The six weeks of the games are done and dusted and it was an awesome experience.

It has really shown me all my weaknesses (plenty of them), and has made me many new friends in the Crossfit World.

Pleased to say that although I didn’t make the Top 60 individuals in Australia and New Zealand to qualify (finished 208th out of 1654 competitors), I have made the Crossfit 2600 team for the Australian Games to be held this weekend.

Training has been fierce with double and triple WOD days a common occurance over the last few weeks.

 To say I am in pain is an understatment!! The old body is holding together (just), and I am ready to rock  this weekend!!

I will give an update once I return next week from the Games and see who is crowned Australia’s fittest athlete..

Here is a bit of footage from Week 11.6 of the Reebok Crossfit Games:

Well it has been a hectic few weeks in the Crossfit Games world. We are now at the final week.

Week 6 is here…(thank god)

It has been an awesome six weeks of competition, with a huge variety of programming and sessions. Over the last few weeks it has really showed my weaknesses and really given me things to work toward for the rest of this year.

Unfortunately my Australian ranking of 18 after week 1 has slowly but surely headed south!!

Here is what has happened week by week:

week 1: 18th
week 2: 24th
week 3: 82nd
week 4: 154th (this WOD really sucked for me)
week 5: 268th ( and this one…)

Overall not too bad out of 1654 competitors here in Aust & New Zealand, but I definately have to get stronger!!!

Here is a bit of footage over the alst few weeks:

Hey Guys,

Well as you know I am into my first competition for Crossfit. We have now just completed WOD 11.3 (week 3 of 6), and I am loving it!!

Below is a bit of footage of training from last week and also clips of WOD 11.3 at our Canberra Crossfit Games Day.

Started off after week 1 in great style sitting in 18th place in Australia, after WOD 11.2, fell to 84th in Aust and after, WOD 11.3, I am now sitting in 124th place. Not too bad, would really like to get back into the top 100 fittest athletes in Australia!!!

Will just keep plugging away and see what next week brings me. Not sure why but after a year of training, I still get nervous everyday I am training or competing. Is it just me or do other people still get like that??

A huge thanks to Crossfit 2600 for the running of WOD 11.3 on the weekend it was awesome (they even had a coffee van out the front)..

Well like most people in the Universe competing in the Crossfit Games, i decided to have another go at WOD 1 of the games.

Posted a much better score or 7 rounds 38, which has elevated me to a ranking of 18 in Australia, which I am very happy with.

WOD 2 has just been released and it is:

15min AMRAP
9 x 70kg Deadlifts
12 x Push Ups Games Standard
15 x 24′ Box jumps

Looking forward to this one will let you know how I go… here is a bit of footage of training this week:

As many of you already know I have been training for the last 10 months in preparation for the Crossfit Games.

Well they have finally got under way on the weekend and it was an awesome start to the Crossfit Games here in Canberra. Here is some footage of me in action plus a few of the guys from B32 Crossfit and Crossfit 2600:

http://youtu.be/EMUlssseHYY

A huge thanks to Ross and the crew at B32 for allowing everyone to use their facility (I think there was about 50 competitors) and it was awesome of them to give up their facility and time for the event, so thanks guys.

For me it was a mix of excitement and nerves for the first event, not really knowing what to expect! Well when you have an eleveated heart rate it really is hard to control yourself in a workout and not go out too hard. I felt I did pretty well at that (but could always do a bit better).

Event: 10 min AMRAP (as many rounds and reps as possible) of
30 x double unders (double skip)
15 x 35kg Power Snatch (could go to ground to overhead)
My Result: 6 rounds + 30 D/U (3oo reps in total)

Kai from Crossfit 2600 came out on top for the day with a score of: 7 rounds + 30 D/U (total of 345 reps). Well done mate

Will keep you updated on my journey over the next weeks of the Crossfit Games.

Well it is finally here.

After a year of training, the 2011 Reebok Crossfit Games are finally here!!

As all of you know we need to have a goal to work toward, that is what drives us to get out of bed everyday and keep going. Remember if we are not moving forward, we are moving back!!

Now I have been around long enough to not kid myself and think that I would ever make it to the Crossfit Games Finals in California (hell I can’t even win in my own region), but this is not what Crossfit is about.

Crossfit for me is all about pushing myself to new limits and to keep working toward getting fitter, faster, stronger each and everyday.

Obviously we all still need to work everyday, and if you are like me have a beautiful wife and family to also look after and hang out with whenever possible, that is why I have an amazing wife that is very understanding of my passion toward Crossfit.

She is also a Crossfitter and loves the training methodology (and speed when you have two kids), and she knows that my passion will pass off onto our children as they grow older, which will only help them to grow and work torward their own dreams…

Have I left it too late?? Never, yes I understand that I have work to do, but with Crossfit it is only ever about yourself. I just love the aspect of competing against myself and my mind & body to better myself everyday.

Aiming for the Reebok Crossfit Games is just a target or goal that gave me something to work toward..

So what I am saying is that targets are the most important thing in the whole picture, and when you get to your goal it feels amazing. I know it felt amzing competing yesterday.

So how did I fair? For me I was very happy, place about 8th in the Canberra Crossfit day yesterday and am sitting in 94th spot on the Australian Scoreboad at the moment (my goal is to break the top 100 fittest athletes in Australia..), so on target so far. Still another 5 weeks of cometition to go… only time will tell.

Here is a bit of footage of me in action yesterday:
